Musik, Serious Gaming und Konzentrationsfähigkeit – mit der App entdecken die Kinder die Magie der klassischen Musik mit interaktiven Spielen.
Activity 1
Listen to music
Group work
10 min.
1 melody instrument
M1 Printout
The class forms groups of 3. Each group receives at least one bingo slip. (The different groups get different bingo fields).
Task:
The teacher plays a short melody with the four notes (C, D, E and G) (see picture). Listen very carefully and look for the melody on your playing field. If you find a card with the melody played, you can colour it in or circle it. If you can't find a matching card on your playing field, wait until the teacher plays the next melody. As soon as you have coloured in or circled an entire row, column or diagonal, you call out ‘Bingo’. The teacher checks whether you have recognised all the melodies correctly. If everything is correct, you have won the game.
Activity 2
App
Individual work
25 min.
Tablets/ iPads/ computers + headphones
Task:
Open the link on your device and go to the section Games → Note pitches. Click on the third level with the notes C, D, E, G and A. Play through the games one after the other to learn the note names.
Then start the next two levels one after the other, where new notes are added. If you've finished but still have time, you can repeat individual games to practise reading music.
Activity 3
Listen to music
Class group
10 min.
Adhesive tape or alternatively woollen thread; 1 melody instrument
The teacher sticks five lines (of a stave) and an additional ledger line for the C on the floor with adhesive tape. The ledger line can be marked with short sections to emphasise its function and make it easier to get an overview.
The teacher plays the notes C, D, E, F, G, A and B in random order on a melody instrument (e.g. piano, glockenspiel, recorder).
The teacher can start with a selection of notes and slowly increase the level of difficulty, varying the tempo and repeating notes on request.
Task:
Look at the lines stuck to the floor with the adhesive tape. They represent the stave. Clarify together where each note is on the stave.
The teacher plays the notes you have learnt today in different sequences. Listen carefully to which note is played and stand quickly on or between the line(s) that belong to the note.
If there is still time...
... Activity 1 from lesson 2 can be repeated. Individual pupils can take on the task of conducting and indicate which notes are to be sung by the class by hopping.
Skills learned in this lesson:
Students...
... connect melodies with notations by finding and marking the melodies they heard on their game boards in a bingo game.
... recognise and name note names of the middle octave and link them to the corresponding position in the notation system.
... train their musical ear by distinguishing pitches of the middle octave from one another.
... learn new note names in the app and reinforce them through interactive games.
